Lay Theme Forum

@cedricschanze

Did some research and https://getreplybox.com/ seems like a reasonable plugin to work with. What do you think?

Hi guys,
I have seen a couple of users asking for a comments function within Laytheme. Do you guys consider building this into Laytheme in the near future? Maybe there is a way to work with a third-party plugin? Being able to use a shortcode anywhere on the website would be fantastic!

Having a comments function would actually be super beneficial to grow interaction and community for lots of creators out there.

Let me know what you think, and as always, thank you for your support!

LayTheme 4 Ever.

@arminunruh thanks! Helps a lot!

Hi guys,

hope you had a nice holiday. =)

I am having a problem with HTML5 Videos on mobile.
Is there a way to force HTML 5 videos to auto-play, even when the phone is in "low power" mode? Any snipped I could use or any box I should check? =)

And is there a way to boost the loading speed of these Videos?
Do I miss any new technology to use Videos on my page? =)
Any plugin or process I should know of to improve my page speed?

This is my page, including some video loops:

Thank you in advance!

@arminunruh Thank you. Did not work, but I sent you a mail.
Maybe you'll find a solution <3

Hi guys,
hope you are doing great.
I am having trouble with the text for Project Description.
It only shows up, when set to "above image".
But I would love to have it centred on the image.

Here is a link to a test:

Do you have any advice?
Thank you in advance!

@Richard Thank you for double-checking.
I updated the theme and my problem seems to be solved now.

Thank you!

P.S.
Love the support you are bringing to the laytheme community.

@Richard Thank you for your help, but unfortunately, I am still having troubles, because it is not about the project thumbnails.
The autoplay does not work on normal html5 VideoFiles.... any suggestions?

Hi guys,

I am having trouble setting my HTML 5 Videos to autoplay on mobile devices.
Although I checked the option to autoplay, it seems not to be working.
Autoplay only works on desktops.

Have a look at this project:

Any advice on how to fix that?
Thanks a million.

Cheers,
Cedric

@mariusjopen
Wordpress and Laytheme are up to date.
What do you mean by "Also the map…"?

General thoughts:
I made a screencast to show you my websites behaviour.
You will see, that the page is loading its content quite normal, but something is blocking the final loading process of my right sidebar and my color switcher at the bottom left. Take a look here:

I think it has to do something with the video loops that I embedded via your grinder. And the priority of how and what the content is being loaded first. The loops have to be fully loaded, then, the right sidebar and bottom colour switcher begin to load.

Do you know why and how to solve it?
Mobile is the same.

Thanks Marius!

Whenever I am checking my website in Safari, the page is loading super slow, sometimes not loading at all.
Any tips? Chrome seems fine.

This is the project I am having the most trouble with:

SOLVED!
Found out, that the play Icon is only showing, when phone is on low power mode.
All good!
Works perfectly.

Hi guys,
working with videos as a thumbnail works perfectly on desktop.
But unfortunately when viewed on mobile, these video thumbnails do not play automatically.
I have to hit a play button, which isn't the best solution.
Is there somehow a fix for that?

This is how my page looks on mobile, see attached screenshot.

Hi,

two questions:
I was wondering, if it is possible to add another title to the project thumbnails.
For now I have one at the bottom right of my project thumbnails, but I would like to add the same title a second time to the center of my thumbnail. Center on the picture itself. But I shoould only appear when hovered over the thumbnail. Otherwise, its just the clear image.

Second question:
If question number one is impossible, would it be possible to reposition the title from bottom right under the thumbnail to center on the thumnail?
If yes, how? Any suggestions?
=)
